Every month, we'll be highlighting things we heard from our most important critic, you, the reader.

Sometimes the Internet can feel like an empty, unforgiving place. Sometimes, the Internet can bring people together who have similar experiences that, because of distance or time or any number of reasons, would not have otherwise ever met each other. In compiling our favorite reader responses from our Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr pages this month, we noticed, and loved, how much time our readers spend supporting each other. Even if you don't know the individual, a "Good for you!" or an "I'm so sorry" can go a long way.

See below for our favorite comments, and the stories they reference, from the last month.
